[MR] OT - Questions on rumours

[Towey, Brian]

No, but I would think gold and oil futures would be a reasonable purchase.
And a short position on the DJIA, if you can get it.

The attacks today seemed to me to be very media savvy, literally produced
for the cameras.  I wouldn't be surprised if there were another shoe waiting
to drop, just as we catch our collective breaths.  But, I doubt it would be
water.  The "nation's water supply" is way too big, too diffuse, and not
telegenic enough.  

Everybody should have disaster supplies on hand at all times.  A "bug-out
bag" with 72 hours of water and iron rations is a bare minimum.  Here in the
hurricane belt, aid agencies suggest one to two weeks of food and water.
Even a Geiger counter and some iodine tablets don't take up much room in the
closet.  <g>  But bottled water?  Sounds like somebody is trying to start a
run on the stores just as a gag.
